3 Years!

My Jake Turned 3!

This kid is the AweSomesT little kid in the world....at least we know so! He is sweet, strong, smart, funny, creative, Cuddly...I could go on & on!

Our one & only handsome little man is growing up! Jake's birthday was on the 23rd, overcast & sprinkling just like the day he was born. Jake is Incredibly Incredible!

Happy 3rd Birthday Jacob!

Easter.....a bit strange!

Easter was quite busy and a lot Crazy! I tried, but to my dismay as I look through our Easter pictures I am just chuckling at there not being ONE picture where my kids look normal! CUTE, but not normal!

Thanks Macy for hosting the Easter bunny! And thanks for your fat sign in every picture in every angle i took! I have no clue why Jessie is hunching, Skylar is giving her "hurry take it smile", Hollie looked somewhere else in all my hurried shots, before the line got long!

This is all the incredibly weird edible PEEP crap i made, i had an Easter candy decorating spree that seemed to go on and on, until Don told me I needed to "quit with the peeps because they are gross"

Easter morning! My kids woke up at 6am like it was Christmas! They were so cute and happy and love those sing-a-ma-jigs! Jessie did inform me that she loved it but it wasn't what she had ordered. Silly Rabbit didn't know Jessie wanted a robot!

This is my sweet sweet Hollie on her first Easter! Also her first Sunday at church, goodbye RSV season!

Happy Spring!

Skylar is 8!

My beautiful Skylar was baptized this month! Me & Skylar were Baptized on the same day in March 23 years apart! We were also Blessed on the same day 23 years apart...not planned!

I think that is perty darn neat!

This Girl of mine is an incredible kid! We love her so much, she has an Awesome, Sweet, Compassionate spirit. Couldn't ask for a Better 8 year old.

We had a great time taking pictures at the bountiful Temple...Did i say WE? I mean ME! It was pretty cold, but Skylar was a trooper. She will Thank Me later right?

Skylar's big day was awesome! Except for the part when Jake decided he was going to yell and cry at the fact that he couldn't follow dad into the water and I almost missed the baptism....How about the part when Jake decided he wanted in on the confirmation circle...I pulled him out and he loudly didn't approve of that either. I put him down and he went back in, but was quiet at least. He belongs with HiS Skylar anyway, guess he knew what he was doing. We had a Yummy lunch at Grandmas after with Family.

I love my Beautiful Sky!

St. George January Escape!

I am very bad at January! Every year i try to be better...but i just. cant. get. out. of. bed. I no wanna either. I hibernate! This year the kids had a 4 day weekend. Don went to Mexico without ME! So, when he came back I made him drive me to St George for some fabulous 50-60 degree weather....I fell in love! The kids love to swim at the hotel. While they did that for hours on end, i jogged around st George & around the temple! So So So nice to be able to run outside in clean air...so nice to go running period! We had a great time swimming, running, eating, playing at parks & being lazy at the hotel. I was getting sweaty in my long sleeve shirts...the locals had COATS on...so funny!

Perty much what we did the whole weekend!

Hot tub man!

My Fishes!

So pretty!

Look at Jessie, she cracks me up!

Uh...whoops! How did this get in here! My mom likes to buy me things (for Don ha ha)

Jake was strutting his stuff in these heels way better than i ever could! Maybe I will just get some red Nike's!

Christmas 2010!

Happy 1st Christmas to Hollie! We doubled up...2 parties on Christmas eve and a day to ourselves on Christmas Day! We went to Don's parents at 1pm and I took ZERO pictures...Oops! We finished the night with my family & our favorite tradition of Connie Claus!

Connie Claus & Skylar

Ruth & Connie Claus ( look at the grannies..cracks me up)

Christmas Morning! I like this picture because it has the whole family..I found me in the mirror!

Jake got "guy stuff" tools, cars, a sleeping bag that he wore all night!

jessie is Santa's little princess!

What's Christmas without a chilly temple square? I always insist because LIGHTS are the best Christmas decoration...besides the manger scene of course!

Merry Christmas & an especially Happy New Year...I need it!

HaPpY 31

Happy 31 indeed! Don surprised me with a mini getaway! We ate at Olive Garden, Stayed the night at Little America, had room service breakfast Mmm..Mmm, He also gave me a years worth of well deserved & much needed Massages, well...HE didn't, but he bought them!

Our lovely view from the 17th floor!

We brought along my favorite present of the year...me & her, we're inseperable!

Hollie was awesome and me and Don both got the sleep we had been missing! It was lotsa fun! 31 is going to be awesome!

Oh...& thanks mom for babysitting!
